Chapter TWENTY-ONE

EPOV

Ben's 1st Birthday

"Grab him," Bella yelled as she was finishing up the last bit of snack food we were having for Ben's first birthday.

At a year old, the little shit went from walking one day to running the next. He was quick and faster than any one-year-old that I've ever met. "Come here you little turkey."

He took off down the hallway with a bag of chips he pulled off the table. His screams and giggles were the best sound I've ever heard; besides the day he was born.

I couldn't believe how smart he already was. He's definitely taking after his mother.

When I entered his room, I pretended I didn't know where he was. "Benny, where are you? Mommy wants the chips back on the table."

"Momma," I heard him say. "Chips."

I was down on the floor on my hands and knees so I could be at his level. "Benny, daddy's gonna find you."

"NO!" I heard him yell from behind the chair in his room. That was his favorite hiding place.

I creeped around the edge. "Gotcha!" I snatched him up and started blowing raspberries on his belly. He grabbed a hold of my hair and pulled for dear life.

I held him up over my shoulder, grabbed the chips and headed back towards the kitchen. "He hid behind the chair, didn't he?"

"Good guess." I tossed the chips on the table. "When's everyone getting here?" I put Ben back on the floor in his play area we had blocked off for him, then walked back over to where my wife stood at the counter and wrapped my arms around her.

Bella pushed her ass into me. "Two, and my mom is stopping at Costco to pick up the cake. Leah's bringing her ham rolls, and Tanya can't make it. She had a previous RSVP to a baby shower, and our dutiful friends from across the street are getting the ice cream."

"Did you order a big cake?" I kissed her neck where it was exposed. That was until I felt something slam against my leg and a squeal from our son.

I looked down and saw a wooden block laying next to my foot. "You little shit. I can kiss mommy anytime I want." I leaned down and started to kiss Bella on the cheek. "My mommy."

Ben screamed and chucked another block at me. For a one year old, he sure had a stealthy arm. "You're gonna make him throw a fit," Bella warned. "Then you'll be the one putting him down for his nap."

I kissed her neck, again. "How about he takes a nap now and mommy lets daddy do some naughty things to her?"

I didn't hear the front door open. "If you know what's good for you, you'll never say that again in front of me, and get your hands off my daughter."

"Hi, dad," Bella said and moved away from me to go take JonJon from him. "Where's Leah?"

"She'll be right back. She ran to Albertson's for something." He leveled his eyes on me. "You're a pervert. I should arrest you."

"She's my wife and a bigger pervert than I am." I teased and smiled at my father in-law.

His facial expression dropped. "As far as I'm concerned, my daughter is a virgin and had Ben out of miraculous conception like the virgin Mary."

I busted out laughing along with Bella. "She's far from a virgin all thanks to me."

"Mason," Bella warned. She barely ever calls me Mason anymore. She's the only one besides my mother that calls me Edward. Bella claims that she feels more like a friend than my wife when she uses Mason. "Stop goading him. He's gonna shoot you then I'll be a widow."

"Fine," I relented. "This won't be the last time, old man."

Charlie's eyes grew wide. "Who you callin' old man?" Then he pointed at JonJon. "Isn't it obvious I still got game? A newborn, a six year old, and a 24 year old daughter. I'd say I still got somethin' goin' on. We'll see where you are at my age."

"Daddy." It was Charlie's turn to get warned. "Stop or I'll tell Leah."

"Tell her what? Her old man can still get his groove on?" Charlie laughed. "Honey, Leah already knows how good my groove is."

JonJon decided he wanted to be the center of attention, so Bella took it upon herself to tend to her baby brother.

When Leah walked through the door about 30 minutes later with a very hyper six-year-old, she looked haggard and irritated. I took the two grocery bags from her, and the tray of ham rolls she was carrying. "They're in the living room."

"I just need to sit for a few minutes. Paul and JonJon had me up most of the night." I handed her a bottle of water and sat across from her. "Charlie had to work second shift yesterday, so he didn't get in until close to two this morning."

"We can keep Paul tonight if you'd like," I offered. I liked my little brother in-law and now that Ben was older, he liked to play with his uncle.

"I might take you up on that later in the week. He has a doctor's appointment first thing in the morning."

I gave her a small smile. "It's an open-ended offer; just let us know."

"Let us know what?" Bella walked into the kitchen with Ben on her hip.

Ben reached for me as I explained what I offered. She didn't mind one bit if Paul stayed with us. He loves his big sister more than anything.

By two o'clock, everyone was accounted for. Renee and Phil arrived with not one, but two cakes. One was a small one just for Ben to tear into. I never saw so much blue icing in my life. Ben had it all in his hair, in his ears, and up his nose. He was so tired by the time his bath was ready that he cried the entire time. He shut up the second he was dressed, and Bella popped her tit in his mouth. She only planned to breastfeed him one more month then she was done until I knock her up, again.

I was ready, now, for another baby, but Bella was pretty adamant about waiting a little longer. I've tried a few times to convince her, even tried to trick her, but she's way ahead of my game. She threatened to get an I.U.D the last time I pushed for another baby.

As soon as I get her in bed tonight, I planned to try my hardest to change her mind. I think a little teasing might work; delayed gratification has worked wonders before.

I heard the water shut off to the sink in the bathroom. Bella was just getting done washing her face and brushing her teeth. She does the same routine every night before bed unless she showers first.

My plan to seduce her was running through my head and had me ready to try my hardest to change her mind about making a baby. Luckily, I was laying on my stomach, so she couldn't see the evidence between my legs.

As soon as she climbed into bed and shut the light off, the first thing she did was scoot over to my side and lay across my back. "Edward?" She whispered and started kissing across my back until she got close enough to my ear. "Edward?"

I groaned, pretending that I had been asleep. "What?"

"I wanna have sex," she whispered in my ear before taking the edge of my ear between her lips then running her tongue down to my lobe.

My eyes popped open, and a huge smile spread across my face. I knew she couldn't see me. Who knew I wouldn't have to waste any energy seducing her?

I rolled to lay on my back and hooked my arm around her neck to pull her to me so I could kiss her. She caressed her hand over my chest and down over my stomach to my hardened cock. My boxers were still on, so she hooked her fingers into the elastic and began to push them down.

That lasted a whole minute before I reached over to turn on my light then pushed her on to her back. She was writhing and squeezing at her tits before I could perch myself over her. She only had her panties on until I hastily pulled them off. I had a plan and there was no way I was letting her deter my actions.

"Edward, please. I'm so damn horny." She smoothed her hand down over her stomach and slipped her middle finger between the top part of her luscious pussy lips to rub her clit. I watched her for a minute before I pushed her hand away, grabbed her shins and pushed her legs up and open wide.

I planned to fuck her with my tongue until she was close then stop. I wanted her so damn frustrated that she'd agree to just about anything that I wanted. I knew I was playing dirty, but don't fault a man for seducing his wife into having another baby.

She was all over the place as I feasted on her. "Stop teasing me," she demanded.

I sucked her clit between my lips then nipped with my teeth. "Nope," I mumbled against her skin.

She wiggled before slipping both hands over the top of my head and weaved her fingers through my hair and pushed my face further into her pussy. "You're driving me crazy. I need to cum."

I pushed two fingers inside of her and began to pump until her breathing was so out of control that she was nearly hyperventilating. "Oh, God, yes, please more!" She was becoming more and more demanding the more I teased her, but I pulled my fingers out and released her clit with a pop. "NO! What are you doing?"

"You want something, and I want something." I pushed one finger inside of her and slowly moved in and out. "How bad do you want to cum?"

"Edward, I swear to God." She tried to get to her clit on her own, but I pushed her hand away.

I rose up to my knees and gripped my cock. I began to stroke myself. "Look," I told her, and she opened her eyes then reached for me. "Nope."

"Oh, my God. Why are you doing this to me?" She tried to close her legs, but I wouldn't let her.

That's when I started tapping at her clit with the head of my cock. "I want another baby."

"What!?" She screeched and pushed up on her elbows. "Edward, please don't do this right now. I feel like I could explode."

I pushed inside of her halfway to make her think I gave in. A few small pumps then I pulled out all the way. "I. Want. Another. Baby." I punctuated each word with a tap and rub over her clit.

She moved to get off the bed. "Forget it!"

She was getting pissed. "Get the fuck over here," I said and pulled her back to me. I pushed between her legs and propped myself up on one elbow while I used my other hand to grip my cock. "Stop with the attitude. I'll make you cum when you agree." I was definitely being devious.

"I'm not ready," she pleaded. "And I could always get myself off."

"You really want to do that?" I pushed inside her all the way. "I know I do it better and it won't be the same."

She wouldn't look at me, so I gripped her face with my hand. "Look at me." She squeezed her eyes shut just as I moved inside of her. "Look at me." In then out, real slow. It felt good to me, so I knew it felt like a million bucks to her.

Her eyes opened and looked directly into mine. "I love you," I tell her as I start thrusting faster then pressed my lips to hers. She gave in and began to kiss me back.

We kissed for a few minutes before I shoved inside of her hard and released her mouth. "I love you, and I want you to think about it. If we get pregnant once your shot is up, then the new baby will be born before or after Ben turns two."

She closed her eyes as I started to pump into her slowly. "I'll think about it."

"Thank you," I said just as I started thrusting faster. "You love me?"

"More than anything." I felt her legs clamp around my back. "I love you. Please make me cum."

I couldn't hold back anymore, so I propped myself up on my hands and began to pound into my wife's pussy. "Mmmm...you feel so fucking good and tight."

"Yes," she groaned as she dug her nails into my arms. "I'm gonna cum!"

I had to move around so I could wrap my arms around her legs and slam into her. Bella's whole body stiffened as she clawed and gripped at the bed. Her release hit her so hard that her pussy was like a vice around my cock. As soon as my release hit me, I held deep inside of her, and imagined for a split second that she ended up pregnant right then and there.

When we were calmed and cleaned up, I pulled her body close to mine so I could spoon with her. "I will," I heard her say. "Let's have another baby."

I sighed deeply. "I'm sorry," I tell her as I press my face into the crook of her neck. I felt a huge amount of guilt now that she said yes. "I shouldn't have done that. It was inconsiderate and selfish on my part to do that to you."

"It was definitely ruthless, and I should punch your lights out for doing that to me, but you're right about the timing, so if you ever do something like that again, you won't have any balls left to try and convince me otherwise."

I kissed along her neck. "I really am sorry, and I won't do something like that, again." Just the thought of her pregnant, again, made me grow hard against her. "Will you let me have you, again, tonight?" I pushed my cock into her ass as I began to grow hard, against her.

My wife turned her head to look at me. "You can have me anytime you want. No need to ask."

3 Months Later

"Dude, chill," I tell Eric. "You don't need to be nervous. She'll walk down that isle."

Eric was pacing along the floor in front of the door of the room we were getting dressed in. "I know she'll be there, but what if I can't be what she needs."

I chuckled. "Dude, she wouldn't have said yes unless she already knew you were right for her."

"I hope you're right, Sachon." He plopped down in the chair across from me. "I should've asked her what her expectations are of me."

I raised my brow at him. "You two have been together how long and you have no clue what she expects from you?"

"I know; stupid, right?" He started chewing on his thumb nail.

"It's a simple answer to a question that shouldn't need to be asked." I looked at him like it was obvious. "Love her, trust her, and the biggest and most important is respect." I scooted to the edge of my seat. "If she's anything like my wife or practically every other woman out there, then that's your answer."

Eric looked down at his hands where he was tangling them together. "She's my entire heart, Sachon. I wouldn't know how to live without her."

"I know how you feel; I feel the same way about Bella." I looked at the clock on the wall. "It's time to head downstairs, and get you married."

Tanya was beautiful in her wedding dress and the ceremony was short and sweet. Eric stumbled over his vows once or twice, but he finally got them out. They were both a crying mess by the end of Tanya's vows. I'm man enough to admit that it all grabbed at my heartstrings and caused a room full of tears. My cousin, Eric, was finally a married man.

The reception was held at a country club that Eric's dad was a member of. There were nearly 150 people in attendance, and luckily there was plenty of elbow room. Bella and I danced to a few slow songs, but we mainly hung out at the wedding party table. We had to leave Ben with my aunt because he was running a slight fever with a runny nose. Emmett checked him out and said he was just teething.

I was getting very bored and was ready to go home. It was baby making time for us and I was ready to get to work. When Bella agreed to try for another baby, she only had two months left on her shot. She went in to get a full check-up to make sure everything was still working the same, and she got the all clear. The doctor warned us that it may take a month or more before she could actually conceive. I was okay with that because honestly, you can't rush perfection.

We decided to keep our future conception to ourselves until she got the two pink or blue lines on the stick. I hoped and prayed it doesn't take too long.

Thank you,
